Library Work Focus

As the University Archivist, I specifically focus on managing and preserving the historical records and documents related to Texas Wesleyan University. I acquire and organize materials such as administrative records, faculty papers, student publications, and other items that reflect the institution's history. University archivists play a crucial role in maintaining the university's institutional memory, making these records available to researchers, faculty, students, and administrators for academic and administrative purposes. I also assist with exhibitions, archival instruction, and outreach efforts to promote awareness and use of the university's archival collections.

Library Liaison

A library liaison is a library faculty member who is officially designated as the key point of contact between the library and a specific academic unit, which could be a school, department, or center. The liaison also serves as an “ambassador” for the Library to the unit, promoting the Library’s resources, services, and events, and advocating for support of the Library’s needs.

I am the liaison for:

  • Criminal Justice
  • Psychology
  • Ram Success
  • Religion & Humanities
  • Sociology
  • Spanish
  • Society of American Archivists
  • Society of Southwest Archivists
  • Texas Library Association
